Movie description:
In-ho Kang, who is working to earn money for his daughter’s surgery, is appointed to a school for hearing-impaired children in Gwangju. But what he discovers there is an ugly truth: the children are being physically and sexually abused by their teachers. When he decides to fight for the children’s rights and expose the crimes being committed at the school, In-ho teams up with human rights activist Yu-jin Seo. But he and Yu-jin soon realize the school’s principal and teachers, and even the police, prosecutors and churches in the community are actually trying to cover up the truth.
Based on the novel »Dogani« by Jee-young Cong, »Silenced« shows the actual events that took place at Gwangju Inhwa School for the hearing-impaired, where young deaf students were the victims of repeated sexual assaults by faculty members over a period of five years in the early 2000s.
In-Ho Kang is a newly appointed teacher at a school for the hearing-impaired in Mujin city. On the way to his new job he becomes involved in a minor car accident and takes his car to a local car repair shop. There his already wrecked car is bumped by a woman named Yoo-Jin, who is an employee at the Mujin Human Rights Center.
On the first day at his new school, In-Ho meets the school’s principal and director of administra-tion. They are identical twins. The director of administration asks for a bribe of 50 million WON ($50,000 USD) to work at their school. In-Ho’s financial situation is already in dire circumstanc-es. His daughter who is staying with his mother suffers from asthma. In-Ho’s wife has passed away. In-Ho makes a phone call to his mother asking for the money. She delivers the 50 million WON by taking out the deposit money for their home.
While teaching the hearing-impaired students, In-Ho feels something strange about the kid’s distant appearances. On his way home, In-Ho notices one of his students Yoo-Ri sitting on the ledge of her dorm room window, which is several stories above ground. He rushes into the dorm building and makes it into Yoo-Ri’s room to pull her away from the window. Yoo-Ri then leads In-Ho to a door down the hall and stops. In-Ho goes into the room and sees the superintendent of the dormitory beating a male student named Yeon-Doo. In-Ho is shocked by the brutality and eventually takes Yeon-Doo to the hospital. In-Ho also makes a phone call to Yoo-Jin, the lady from the human rights center who bumped into him earlier, and asks her to come to the hospital. Soon, In-Ho and Yoo-Jin uncover unfathomable actions committed by the school’s faculty against the students. Their work to break the children’s silence is only beginning. Meanwhile, In-Ho feels his own pressures to stay silent as his new job already cost his family their home’s deposit money and medical bills are piling up for his daughter.
